Hi Jonathan,

Pros: The platform is very user friendly and has online help and support available at all times. I have never needed to use this feature as I find it really easy to use. Folders and files are easy to create which makes organising and sharing a breeze!

Cons: The only con I can think of with Glasscubes is very small. When adding people to workspaces and you select the option to send a copy to yourself, it sends a copy of all of the invites sent out. Clutters up the email a bit butit is easily rectified by not sending it to yourself!

Very Reliable for what I use it for.

Pros: It helps keep us connected and efficient with all documents stored in one place, with easy access to edit and track progress. Overall it's a great tool and something we really value.

Cons: There have been a couple of bugs when opening documents whilst still using other programmes, but GlassCubes have attempted to rectify this with updates and it's only a small issue.

It's been a really useful tool to share files across partners in other institutions.

Pros: We could not be happier with this product! Excellent value, affordable, perfect for our organization's size and needs. Did not know a comprehensive product like this existed. Glasscubes' support is dependable. Communication is stellar. Could not be more pleased, and my company has benefitted from this purchase. It has changed the way we work and improved our efficiency. It give us the tools larger organizations have, and has streamlined the way we communicate and organize particular functions. The downloadable app for smart phones was a big bonus. Amazing product, exceptional value.

Cons: Looking forward to the Calendar feature being a part of the app. Otherwise, I do not have any cons to convey.

Overall: Effective communication, organization, improves our efficiency. The chat feature helps us communicate in a way which keeps the noise volume down in our showroom environment. Perfect tool for our business. Could not be more pleased. Also has a downloadable app for smart phone users, which allows our outside sales team connectivity.

Great for working together.

Hi there,
Thank you for leaving us a review. You mentioned that "it would be ideal to have the option to follow something or not when commenting on someone's comment". FYI, you do have the option to manually follow or unfollow items. In most cases you will want to follow an item that you have commented on so that you will see any other comments that are added to the item. If you would prefer not to receive those type of notifications you can manually unfollow the item.
I hope that helps and thank you for your support.

Pros: Ability to post on a social forum as it allows everyone in our network to update what is going on, comment, ask questions and ask for actions to be completed.

Cons: Notifications don't immediately go away and get marked as read. Even when you've seen the post though the emailed link.

Overall: It's a great way to share across a network where there are lots of individuals from different institutions working together. We are able to share files, which are sorted through the workspaces, thoughts through the forum and see upcoming events.

Glasscubes is vital asset to the company.

Pros: When used by many in an organisation it does help colleagues connect very easily, people are much more likely to see important info and content whereas on emails it is easy to miss people off. It is very easy to collaborate with multiple people through quick commenting and the ability to edit files while having all previous versions available.

Cons: It can be a little hard/confusing to navigate to the specific resources you want. Email notifications can get excessive but are easy to modify.

Pros: Makes communicating and sharing documents with colleagues easier. Especially when you want other colleagues to comment on updated documents.

Cons: When a colleague comments on a workspace you're in you get a notification. However, this notification also generates an email. This workspace was suppose to cut back emails, however it seems to create more..

Overall: Makes project working easier and more efficient.

Pros: My department works across several higher education institutions which all operate in slightly different ways. Before we subscribed to Glasscubes, the challenges we faced performing simple tasks such as file-sharing, collaboration and diary coordination were taking up a significant amount of admin time. We're now working much more efficiently on Glasscubes and the extra features, such as Task Management, are a real bonus! The support in place for teams working on Glasscubes is some of the best I've seen with any product or service; whether you head to the Glasscubes Help Centre and read the tutorials on every aspect of the system, chat to the support team on the messaging feature, or phone them, you're never far from help. I've had very few issues so far, but they have always been solved really quickly and thoroughly.

Cons: There is very little I dislike about Glasscubes as a company and a product. I am truly impressed as a customer. One aspect that perhaps has room for improvement is the development of features on Glasscubes - specifically that there are so many brilliant suggestions by users that the task of implementing them all is next to impossible. Having said that, the very idea that users can request features that they would find useful in their work with Glasscubes is a great system in itself and another reason I fully recommend it to companies and teams of any size.

Mainly good - the more you use it the easier it gets! Accessible and easy to navigate.

Pros: It can form the central focus for staff working remotely as well as internally, which suits our team well. Documents can be uploaded and saved quickly and easily. Particularly helpful for collaboration on projects and a great way of communicating to a large team using the intranet facility. Helpful for storing and sharing information in addition to being secure via use of the permissions facility, which is vital. Perfect for a team working in multiple locations to feel united in working towards the same goal.

Cons: Getting to grips with something new can sometimes prove a little daunting...other than that I have had no problems with Glasscubes.

Overall: Multiple - sharing, communicating, collaborating.

Glasscubes provides an excellent forum for me to communicate with my colleagues on a daily basis.

Overall: No longer having to search through loads of emails to find work or briefs

Cons: If the internet is down obviously that cause problems. It can be quite glitchy as our proxy walls cause it problems.

Overall: Huge benefits. Keeps my inbox clean. Quick, simple and easy to use. Breaks down the communication barriers with the rest of the team.

Pros: Great for when you are spread out within a region and everyone needs access to the same documents. New updates make it more user friendly.

Cons: Tricky at first, there is a lot of things you need to personalize which take time. For example, you would have to customize the workspace lists so that not everyone gets the emails. It takes time to set up but once you do that it is a good product

Overall: It is good to know that i can send out a document securely. I can also send out a big file without having to break it up.

The overall user interface is easy to navigate, and the functions are quite sufficient for a team to work together efficiently.

Cons: Add functions for integrating with popular cloud storage, such as Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox.

Pros: The customer support is excellent, and once you've found your way around the interface and know where all of your documents are stored, it's a very useful platform.

Cons: It's not particularly intuitive and can be a bit difficult to navigate at times. I think for those less experienced with IT, the complicated style of the site might be a little intimidating and difficult to find your way around.

Overall: It's extremely useful as somebody who works remotely.

Easy-Intuitive-supportive. Highly recommended

Pros: I work for an international NGO and we have staff and Board members in about 40 countries. We were finding that our former intranet platform was no longer fit-for-purpose and 'clunky'. Our users were disatisfied, so we had to change.

We started testing out Glasscubes late 2016 and right away the support team have been answering our questions quickly. No question is ever too small.

We moved our intranet over to Glasscubes in April, with full launch in June. The platform is so user-friendly and we have seen a great increase in engagement from our global staff in the short time we have been using it. It is so intuitive. Many of our staff use Facebook, so they can figure out how to use it with miminal training.

The support pages are great and the live chat and admin forum are really useful for problem solving.

Highly recommended if you are looking for a collaborative platform.

Cons: This is more difficult to complete. Not being able to label mutlipl documents are a time is a bit of a pain - but the glasscubes development team is looking into a fix for this.

Overall: collaboration and internal communications has increased many-fold as people find it so easy to use.

A good platform but a little busy in its layout.

Pros: Easy of use. Simple to get to use even for novices of technology. Few bugs so far. The ability to use the latest version of documents but also seeing previous documents is useful.

Cons: Not being able to edit online. The layout is a little busy and you have to click on too many links before getting to the file you want.

Intuitive out of the box product for most features but does require some learning.

Pros: Setting up the product has been simple and the customer support has been attentive and responsive.

The product will be used as a type of private social network for my organisation and it's most engaged members.

Cons: As with any product it requires a bit of work to get better but Glasscubes product has few of these. The ones I have noticed include document management is not yet as smooth as it can be as preview of Excel files is not particularly useful and busy professionals maybe put off by that.

Overall: An affordable and easy to configure product that met the organisations short term goal of having a product for a private social media/community area to work on projects.

Hi Eugene,
Thank you for your review and feedback. Did you know that you can choose the area of the Excel spreadsheet that you want to preview in Glasscubes? It can be adjusted by setting the print preview in Excel before you upload it.

Pros: I really like the clean and lean design of the user interface. It is very responsive and has a unique set of features. In-text search for documents, fully-fledged task management including time and progress tracking are features we really appreciate. The software is cloud hosted which makes it easy to use in-house as well as when travelling. User can be assigned to different roles and permissions can be restricted to certain areas only which makes it ideal to use for collaborating with clients.
Big bonus to a really fast and responsive UI.

Cons: There are a few features we have on out wish list which have not be implemented yet. We would for example like to be able to restrict access to the dashboard to certain users only. Also there is currently no offline file sync tool for mac available.

Not the easiest to get used to, but very practical overall

Pros: A nice platform to use in the workplace, it is very easy to keep track of lists/tasks etc.
As a company we use this as a master task list, where we have all of our tasks subdivided into sections relating to our role within the company and then those tasks are assigned to us.
With regards to file uploads etc we do not use this feature as we should.
all together though, it is a very useful application and we rely on it to keep track of our tasks register for all members of staff.

Cons: I do find the compatibility with glasscubes vs windows is not at its best, for example you cannot copy and paste a number of tasks into glass cubes or vice versa as far as i am aware.
I like the feature of being able to download a report - although this does not come without errors in formatting for example - this should be looked at.

Overall: Easy task list creation and recording progress

It has been really easy to share documents and interact between workers of different companies

Pros: It's very easy to use. It has some great innovations like emailing a document to it add to a list. Managing teams is most helpful for managing security.

Cons: I would like to link images from a single location in Glasscubes to multiple docs, so when I change it once, it is changed everywhere. That's not possible so we risk old images scattered about.

Overall: Knowledge sharing with our clients; managing projects with clients in other states; storing important documents without needing to manage SharePoint and the security (Glasscubes does all that).

Pros: It's easy to access and to use, particularly given that most of our users are not technically minded

Cons: On-line editing and sharing of documents could still be improved

Overall: As a multi-site company sharing sensitive data, we needed an internet based system so that we could share and update data easily. Of all the systems we've seen and tried, Glasscubes offers the best combination of features and pricing. It works well for us and we've been using it for many years.

Pros: Easy to use
Easy to set up
Easy to get people started
Cost-effective

Cons: Could be improved for mobile devices

Overall: We use Glasscubes to manage and create thousands of assessments in order to train the healthcare scientists for the NHS. We have a distributed team of many hundreds of people that work together collaboratively and seamlessly across the NHS. Without Glasscubes our work would not be possible.

Our teams are busy people that work on the front line in the NHS, by using a system like Glasscubes we save time, money and effort by allowing our teams to work together easily at times that work for them.

I'm really not sure what we'd do if we didn't have Glasscubes.

Comments: Among all the varieties of online collaboration software that I and the global networks I advise have used to try to build on-going, strong, virtual communication between our users, Glasscubes has been embraced and used more deeply, persistently and effectively than any other platform. Use the dashboard of recently added/changed/commented-upon to discover all the action throughout your Glasscube instance. It's an easy way to stay right on top of all developments. It gives confidence to users that their new contribution won't get lost deep in the site somewhere.

Pros: It has intuitively well-placed modules (dashboard of recent content; very functional workrooms - each with separate document/comments and more; effective tagging; and global search are most-used and appreciated.

Cons: I would find it advantageous for Glasscubes to widen its array of pricing options.

Cons: I would prefer a wider array of pricing options than per-userseat.

Overall: Among all the varieties of online collaboration software that I and the global networks I advise have used to try to build on-going, strong, virtual communication between our users, Glasscubes has been embraced and used more deeply, persistently and effectively than any other platform.

Pros: Ease of use
Excellent labeling and parking of necessary files
File review and collaboration made easy
Easy management of access for large pool of users
Great discussion and polling options for online decision making
Global calling options
Pushed notices
Good calendar tool
Strong tech support

Overall: In searching for a resource that would tie multiple working teams that adjudicate and support over 70 churches and social service agencies in the upper Midwest of the USA, we explored many options but settled on glasscubes. Ease of use, excellent labeling and parking of necessary files, reviews, collaborative projects confidentially limited to particular subsets of larger collaborative team was a huge seller. Being able to use discussion and polling options for online formal decision making, global calling options, doc reviews, pushed notices, universal calendaring and strong tech support made glasscubes an easy decision.

Pros: Things I like about Glasscubes:
1) Its easy to use
2) You can upload documents that multiple people can access
3) You can give specific people access to a project
4) You can access Glasscubes from anywhere
5) I can create my own task list to keep on top of my workload and others can also add to that task list
6) Glasscubes notifies you when someone has added to a project you are working on or has assigned a task to you

Cons: I haven't found anything yet that I really don't like.

Overall: I started to use Glasscubes a few years ago when our team started working on projects with colleagues based around the UK. My first real experience was working on producing a short online course with colleagues in Manchester. Glasscubes made it so much easier for us to get feedback on content quickly and we didn't have to worry about version control as Glasscubes clearly shows you the history of who has accessed what and when. Everyone in the team could see the same information and we knew what we were all working on was the most current and up to date content. It definitely made life a lot easier for us.

Pros: The file management system is very easy to use. Permissions are easy to manage.

Cons: I'd really like to see a process where a file that is used among various projects can be uploaded only once, then shared with other projects. Currently, the same files have to be uploaded for each project.

Overall: We currently run 7 projects, each with at least 8 participants. Glasscubes has been invaluable for document storage and version controls.

Pros: Mainly used as a document repository for meeting documents, the ease of creating folders, uploading files, previewing and editing files is great.
Separate workspaces for confidential sub-groups is also really well handled.
Very flexible around billing for adding and removing group members.

Cons: If anything, perhaps there has been some confusion between Announcements, Discussions and Comments on documents. This, however, seems to be in the process of streamlining.

Overall: Introducing Glasscubes as a repository for documents for a team of some 20 volunteers, many of whom are not particularly tech-savy. It has been a relatively painless exercise and Glasscubes couldn't have been a better platform for this group to adopt.

Recommendations to other buyers: None

Comments: I use glasscubes for part of my role in the NHS. It's a good platform for working collaboratively at a distance, the best thing is the way you can choose to either open files just to view or to amend, it really helps with version control. The customer service is great and the whole atmosphere feels very friendly. The disadvantage, which I imagine is the same with all platforms os the other users - if they don't play ball and do things differently to the rest of you etc it becomes a pain but that's the user not the platform!

Comments: We are a charity with lots of very small locations around the country. We used to have real problems working collaboratively on documents; we didn't have enough funding for sharepoint, etc, and other solutions like dropbox, syncplicity and like just didn't work the way we needed.
Glasscubes came with the document sharing (and locking) which we were really after but also came with discussion groups and a range of other functions we've found really useful along the way.
It has made a massive difference for our organisation.

Pros: Really simple to set up and use. Excellent value for money. New functions like Connect make it even better.

Cons: Offline functionality is not available on our version of Glasscubes but is available on other Glasscubes account types.

Comments: Glasscubes provides an interesting cloud platform to share documents within a business and a group. I think it works better within small business rather than larger ones personally. But that depends on how you use it! The InnerCube is a good reward scheme however!

Pros: - Good Platform
- Good Reward Scheme
- Useful for small business

Cons: - Clunky
- Slow
- Likely less useful for larger businesses

Comments: We tried various alternatives before we found Glasscubes and this is by far the best value for money and the easiest to use. Great for Document Control, especially when more than half of your workforce work remotely from the office. We use Glasscubes as part of our Quality Management System and Health and Safety System and its a great way to get appoval and acceptance of documents from employees. Also useful for sharing documents with suppliers in a controlled way. Our ISO9001 auditor also seems to approve, which is always good..

Pros: Simple, intuitive, and requires very little user training.
Good value for money.
Good online support.

Cons: No mobile app - although don't let this put you off trying Glasscubes as they have this in development, and in the meantime, you can still access Glasscubes via a browser on your mobile device.
